I just realized I don't have pictures of my Jelly Roll quilt blocks... you'll have to wait for those! The class was so much fun and made me wonder why I hadn't been taking more classes. Its so much nicer to sew among a fun group of people than on your own. The day just flew by! I have a little homework to complete before the next 1/2 day class, but that's 3 weeks off so lots of time for that.

When I got home I had some nice mail stash arrive - a package from Mary Kathryn from Ehandcrafts with LHN's Spring Sampler. This came with the new Crescent Colours Belle Soie silks and 32 ct natural linen so how could I wait to start? Here is my little blue bird already done. While the silks really remind me of Gloriana silks in the look, they don't want to lay as nicely as the Gloriana. Another funny thing, the variegation seems to show up much more in the picture than in RL too! How odd? I'm wondering if I should re-do part of the birdie so he doesn't look so chunky??

I must get out tonight for some Easter shopping! I just realized I haven't got anything in for the kids, big as they are, they still look for something from the Easter bunny. And I think I have a pinched nerve in my neck - ouch! I've been stretching and using an ice pack, and of course my workload has suddenly increased hugely, but tomorrow is a holiday so that will help.

What a sweet sampler - no wonder you got right at it.Picked up GB yesterday and am wondering whether you are planning to hang yours up or actually allow it to be used for games? Any idea yet?Hope your neck feels better soonHappy Easter.

Wendy, I know this is totally unrelated, but would you happen to know the GAST colours used in the CHS alphabet?? I know it's Black Crow, Tropical Ocean, but for the life of me I cannot figure out the third!! It would be a BIG help! Thanks!

I have this Spring Sampler too...I've yet to start on it tho' I think your's is looking lovely :) So sorry to hear about your pinched nerve..those are so excurciatingly painful...I hope you get relief soon!
